After a brief discussion of Ottawa's Canada Day fireworks—followed by the importance of Kool-Aid in Hastings, Nebraska—ASDC Chair and DNC Vice Chair Jane Kleeb tackles how to address anger directed at Democrats and the DNC. She explores what must change as we head into the midterms to hopefully regain the reins of government, and highlights a unique point of resistance that is uniting Americans: data centers.

She also discusses how the DNC is preparing for possible interference by creating election protection plans, explains how grassroots organizations like Indivisible, No Kings, the Black Power War Room, and Swing Left operate like "after-school care," and invites listeners to review their strategy.
